Ingredients

2 pounds of veal

1/2 pound of ham

2 or 3 onions

butter

spices of different sorts

a small piece of bay leaf

Instructions

Take the veal and ham, with the onions; put a little bit of butter in the bottom of your stewpan, and lay in it the veal and ham cut small, with the onions in slices, a little of the spices of different sorts, and the piece of bay leaf. Let it stew gently over the stove until it comes to a fine colour; then fill it up with broth, but, if you have no broth, with water; then make some smooth flour and water, and put it to it, until you find it thick enough: let it boil gently half an hour; skim the grease from it, and strain it.
